	Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television Ever feel like you're brain is turning to mush when you're watching TV?

It is 'an eye in the sky' that, by necessity, excludes everything outside of its focal plane; and if didn't happen on TV, it didn't happen. After you read this book, you'll never watch TV the same again. You'll most certainly want to watch it much less, if at all.
